I have heavy swapping going top and free are indicating a lot free memory in cached form.Why does the kernel not use this memory instead of killing my desktop by swapping like crazy.

View 3 Replies View RelatedApparently, Ubuntu (and Xubuntu) keep copies of all thumbnails ever loaded, cached in ~/.thumbnails. To me, this is creepy and can be bad from a security standpoint. Is there any way to have all thumbnails loaded on-the-fly, but not to have them ever cached on disk? I tried symlinking ~/.thumbnails to /dev/null, but this disabled thumbnails entirely.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing severe DNS delays today, so I tried to install DNSMASQ by following the instructions given on several pages on the web to make it function as a local DNS cache.
The installation was successful, and after editing the configuration files as instructed, I now have a working DNS cache on my computer.
However, it seems that the addresses are not cached for a long time ; for a given domain, the speedup lasts for a few minutes. If I try to access a previously visited domain once more after several minutes, a new (slow) external lookup is made.
Since websites' IP addresses are not changed every five minutes, would there be a way to tell DNSMASQ to keep the IPs in the cache for a long time (several hours at least) ?
This is very important for me because the DNS lag that I am experiencing makes external lookups last 10 to 20 seconds.
I have an LDAP server holding user/pass/group for many users. Due to network issues, the server sometimes is unreachable and clients cannot login, current sessions usually freeze after a while. All client have ubuntu 10.04.2 x64.
I have went through the outdated howto to cache the LDAP credentials.
I setup the required packages
daily cron "nss_updatedb ldap"
and edited '/etc/nsswitch.conf' to have "files ldap [NOTFOUND=return] db" for both passwd and group.

100% and keeps swapping over

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 questions:
1. How can I set the TTL to 2 days for all stuff cached by dnsmasq?
2. When I go to [URL] from my browser and then execute [URL] the query time returned is > 0 ms. When i execute it again it is 0 as it should be. So is dnsmasq not caching the domains looked up by my browser or what? in /etc/resolv.conf I have only 127.0.0.1 and for the upstream servers I have a different file that is only used by dnsmasq.
I have just purchased my first Linux PC - up to now I have always rolled my own so to speak. It is a little Dell Latitude 2100 which I got a good deal on through the outlet store - a refurb but it looks new. Ubuntu 9.04. It has built in wireless and I have gotten it to talk to my D-Link router although only with WEP and not yet WPA - that will come later.
When is the wireless connection supposed to occur? If I reboot the PC and watch for it to connect (using ping from another machine on the network) it does not appear until I login to it. It remains on the network after I logout(?) Is this normal? I am used to hard wired machines which come up on the network before a user logs in. Is there something I need to change in the network connection settings?
Had Ubuntu 9.01 in Windows 7 as a Dual Booty - no problems.
When upgrade to 10.04 attempted the following errors occur:-
1. Missing Resources warning - " The Networkmanager Applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue."
When I click OK wireless connection is totally lost with no means of reconnecting.
2. Download progresses but freezes at the download of "Preparing memtest86+"
I've been banging my head on this for a week... I finally got AD login working, but I can't get cached logins working. I installed SADMS, let it configure everything, and though I can now login, I still cannot login as my AD username when my machine is not connected to the AD network. I need to be able to login at home, connect to the VPN (if I can ever get that working), then sign on to services at work using my AD username.
Also, I cannot login to local accounts when the system is not connected to the AD network. Plus, home drive mapping is not working, our shares are \FILESERVERuseruser[I]username[I] so this does not work. UPDATE: I installed likewise-open, and now I can't login unless I use the full domain name when logging in via ssh, but I cannot login on the desktop, which is not what I want, now my username doesn't match the previous UID mapping, and my home directory is mapped to /home/likewise-open/DOMAIN/user, instead of /home/DOMAIN/user, like it was before.
I currently have Ubuntu installed onto my laptop, on a single drive partitioned into /root /home /swap. I now have an additional spare HD that I was thinking of installing Win XP onto. So If I needed to use XP for a specific program then I could just swap out the HDs instead of having a Dual Boot system on one drive. confirm that by swapping out the HDs this will not affect the Grub Boot Loader and I will be safe to do this without screwing up my Ubuntu, as if it will screw it up I will just stick with Ubuntu on my Laptop and forget about XP.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe hdd that my system boots from is named "sdb". But sometimes it's named "sdc". It changes from boot to boot. There are four hdds in this desktop and my boot disk keeps swapping names with a data disk (sdb and sdc). No raid. Never affects the other two disks. I am running Ubuntu 10.10, but this problem began when I was a running 10.04.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have installed xubuntu. I have a total of 12034MB of main Memory of which ~1000MB are normally used.When I leave the computer and come back, it is swapping a lot. Whenver I display a window (firefox i.E.) that I have not displayed yet since I left the computer alone, I can here the HD working, and the system monitor shows me how more memory is used and less swap space.
But there is absolutely no need for it. I have at least 10000MB of free Memory at all the time!Can I somehow tell my xubuntu installation to stop swapping unless there is really little main memory left (lets say less than 2000MB)?My kernel version is 2.6.35-29-generic because I have trouble with the raw1394 module in the newest version.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits. I need to swap sata hard drives (they are installed in drawers). If I umount and remove a disk, and then put the same drive in it's place, I can mount it again with no problems. If I put another disk in place of the original, it says: mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist. If I reboot, the new disk is mounted correctly (sdc1 is in fstab).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to solve a kernel bug discussed in /show_bug.cgi?id=24002. One clue is that the problem does not occur when the kernel used by the installer for 11.4 is booted. Can any one tell me how to strip down the vanilla kernel to produce the installer kernel? Perhaps if I can strip down the vanilla kernel one step at a time then I can find the bug.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an OLED screen on my laptop that I have configured to show status information. The current driver I have installed in Linux for it is able to display messages by sending them to a script as an argument separated by spaces.Example: the command /opt/asusg50oled/utils/notify.sh Hi Everybody "Hello World" displays on the oled screen:
Hi
Everybody
Hello World
If another message is sent before the old ones disappear and it reverts to status info, it pushes off the top message. Example: less than 30 seconds after the previous example, /opt/asusg50oled/utils/notify.sh "Bananas have potassium" is executed:
Everybody
Hello World
Bananas have potassium
What I want to do is have kernel messages (the kind you see by running dmesg) forwarded to this script. For example, when I insert a USB drive, the following information would show on the OLED screen as they're logged:........
i set up openvpn on server and configure it then create license file for client and done the rest but when the client want to connect i got the following error :
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds
and now the strange part is if i connect my pptpd connection ( which runs on another server ) and then connect openvpn again i connect instantly without any problem or error in my country im sure there is heavy firewall on all outgoing traffic but currently i do not understand what can cause this problem
i ran tcpcump and seems server receive packets and send it back to client ( though im not sure if client can get the response ) this is my server.conf
Code:
local myserver ip #Replace with your server IP address
port 443 #Replace with the desired port

I'm working on a project using CentOs 5.3 that uses a solid state drive (SSD) as the boot device. It is desired to configure it such that writes do not typically occur run-time but configuration files can be saved. There are 2 reasons we do not want writes to occur run-time. 1) Writes will wear out a SSD over time. 2) A system disruption during a write can cause a file system error.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using an Apple Keyboard (DK-layout) on my PC running Ubuntu 10.4. The problem: My key used to type <, > and is swapped with the key used to type and If I connect a standard PC-keyboard with DK-layout using USB, it works just fine. The problem exists both in the console and X. I solved the problem in the console by installing the console-keymaps package, made a copy of dk-latin1.kmap.gz and swapping keycode 86 with keycode 41 and loading the new keymap with the loadkeys command. I only need to figure out how to load the new keymap at boot time.
However, in X, I want to do exactly the same. I suppose I have to use Xmodmap. I simply can't figure out how to do it.
I have two HDs, one is a 80gb OS drive(Parallel ATA) and the other is a 1T storage drive (SATA). Well after each reboot they swap between /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, over and over again. One boot the OS is /dev/sda and the next its /dev/sdb, same goes for the second drive. This makes it difficult to setup fstab so it will mount the large storage drive on boot.
